- Comment on PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug 1 month ago:
Yeah it is possible he’s accurately, but misleadingly, calling it a bug because it was not meant to be deployed to production (yet). I do not think that’s how he wants or expects people to take it when he calls it a “bug”, though.

you don’t get entire functional UI elements accurately populated with appropriate data out of a “bug”

The only thing that has successfully managed to thwart the FBI in their attempts to break into a phone was Apple’s hardware based encryption. To such an extent that they took legal and legislative actions to try and circumvent it. The specifics of how the encryption works is irrelevant to this argument, and you are more than welcome to consider that point conceded.
- Comment on Leaked Cellebrite Tool Docs Reveal List of Phones That Can Be Unlocked 4 months ago:
I’m not claiming iPhones are superior. I don’t care about dumb OS wars, just don’t put things on your phone expecting that they can’t be retrieved. That’s the only point I’m trying to make here.

The Secure Enclave is a component on Apple system on chip (SoC) that is included on all recent iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV and HomePod devices, and on a Mac with Apple silicon as well as those with the Apple T2 Security Chip. The Secure Enclave itself follows the same principle of design as the SoC does, containing its own discrete boot ROM and AES engine. The Secure Enclave also provides the foundation for the secure generation and storage of the keys necessary for encrypting data at rest, and it protects and evaluates the biometric data for Face ID and Touch ID.

The FBI wanted access to Apple’s encryption keys which they use to sign their software which would let them bypass these features. They don’t have ‘your’ encryption keys, they have their own that the FBI wanted to use to bypass these features. They eventually dropped it because they found a zero day exploit which apple fixed in later versions. That is why the newer phones aren’t vulnerable.
- Comment on Leaked Cellebrite Tool Docs Reveal List of Phones That Can Be Unlocked 4 months ago:
They’re exploiting vulnerabilities and back doors not brute forcing your passcode. The only way you’re keeping them out is with hardware encryption which the iPhone has and why it’s apparently the only one not vulnerable. Hardware encryption also won’t matter if your vendor shares their keys with law enforcement which as far as I’m aware Apple is the only one that has been taken to court for refusing.
Don’t put anything incriminating on your phones.

There are humans with a fourth color receptor in their eyes who have a wider color range than your average person.. Women only though, sorry boys.
- Comment on Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need" 8 months ago:
that is an extremely debatable, incredibly hot take. i wasn’t a fan of cloud and surface spam but lets not pretend that 5e’s combat is universally loved, either. larian made it work pretty well by sanding off some edges here and there but it’s, at best, a sidegrade.
- Comment on Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need" 8 months ago:
Yeah I agree. They deserve a lot of credit for elevating D&D rather than relying on it to elevate the game. The result is grater than the sum of its parts; both D&D and Larian reached a wider audience through the collaboration.

Anyone who played Larian’s previous titles can tell you the only thing DnD brought to the table was a popular license.

UV tattoo ink is one of the only inks that have been approved by the FDA (for animal use). They’ve been used for a long time in livestock. Not that that should make you comfortable with sticking into your skin or anything, but it’s probably not quite the same as powdering your face with radium.
While we’re on the subject of historically misguided applications of radioactive materials: ever heard of uranium glass? People get real weird around spicy rocks.
- Comment on Overwatch 2 story missions future uncertain after January layoffs (according to ex-devs) 8 months ago:
they probably got a lot of people to buy the first couple battlepasses. a success for that quarter, maybe, but probably not the long tail they were hoping to get from transforming it into the GaaS model. they probably made more money from OW1 lootboxes, overall
- Comment on bioluminescence 8 months ago:
There are UV reactive tattoo inks. Not exactly the same but pretty close, and probably safer than trying to manipulate your genes.
- Comment on Mercedes is trialing humanoid robots for ‘low skill, repetitive’ tasks 8 months ago:
wouldnt it make more sense to do a trial that tests their supposed advantages over purpose built robots rather than one which decidedly does not
- Comment on Mercedes is trialing humanoid robots for ‘low skill, repetitive’ tasks 8 months ago:
Yeah but the article says the only thing these ones are gonna do is deliver parts which is probably overkill for the likely expense for the kind of sophistication necessary to imitate even a fraction of a human worker’s versatility.
- Comment on Mercedes is trialing humanoid robots for ‘low skill, repetitive’ tasks 8 months ago:
I cannot conceive of a task where a humanoid robot would be better suited than just a robot built for the task without trying to mimic a human form.

- Comment on AI image-generator Midjourney blocks images of Biden and Trump as election looms 8 months ago:
I mean it’s still an AI, it’s not going to be able to perfectly block everything because they’re statistical, not deterministic. I’ve had Bing block generated images from displaying because they probably got classified as a banned subject, so it’s to exactly unprecedented.
